The Daily Mail appears to be having a slow news week, as Amanda Goff hugging a football player she ran into at brunch was judged newsworthy. (Amanda Goff made headlines earlier this year after outing herself and writing a book about her work as an escort, to much handwringing over the psychic damage this revelation will do to her children).

Officials in Pattaya say they need to be seen to be doing something to scrub up the city’s reputation before the army is tempted to intervene in ways which local officials say might be bad for business.

More on the five year study that resulted in its researchers having the revelation, “Sex workers! they’re a lot like us!” Still, as fatuous as that comment was, the study is a nice respite in a week dominated by anti-trafficking organizations: its findings show that most sex workers are not coerced.

Backing this up is yet another report from Operation North Star: police officers in Regina also found that sex workers were working because they wanted to (despite the police interviewers’ apparent inability to accept that fact.) Guess it’s just that hard to accept an escort’s word at face value.

There’s been speculation about where the sex workers evicted from the Dolly district of Surabaya would go, and it appears a small group have gone to Papua. Papua is less than thrilled, claiming all an HIV epidemic is imminent.

Remember former dancer/club owner/management shill Angelina Spencer’s dismay over that Daily Beast article about strippers and legislators working together to protect dancers in Oregon? Here’s her first attempt at recovering from that: talking up COAST (Club Owners Against Sex Trafficking). Oh, please.

Want to see something absolutely disgusting and outrageous? OK, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

A group of strippers sued Washington state’s Pierce County on Tuesday, saying they don’t want officials to release their business licenses – and their real identities – under a public records request. The complaint was filed by two Jane Does in U.S. District Court in Tacoma on Tuesday on behalf of about 70 dancers and managers at the strip club Dreamgirls at Fox’s, as well as any former dancers.
